Exegesis
The verb yāḡîlû {יָ֝גִילוּ | yāḡîlû} ‘they exult’ intensifies the depiction of their celebration, while the prepositional phrase bəṯaḥpūḵōṯ {בְּֽתַהְפֻּכ֥וֹת | bəṯaḥpūḵōṯ} ‘in perversities’ specifies the twisted forms of evil.
In context — Proverbs 2:14
Those who rejoice to do evil and exult in the perversities of evil.
